Preparations for the Olympics to be held in Japan next year are now in their final stages. The main stadium of Tokyo Olympics is ready. 87 percent wood has been used to build this main stadium. That is, 2000 cubic meters of cedar wood has been used. The wood was brought from the forests of 47 provinces of Japan that were devastated by the 2011 tsunami.

This stadium, built with heavy use of wood, has tried its best to keep the spectators attached to nature and not feel the heat. For this, 185 large fans and cooling nozzles have also been installed at eight places. The construction of the five-storey main stadium has cost about 10 thousand crores. It has a seating capacity of 60 thousand spectators.

The first tournament will be played here on January 1 next year, the final of the Anpor Football Cup. The Tokyo Olympics will be held from 24 July to 9 August. Apart from this, there will be Paralympics from 25 August to 6 September. The stadium has been designed by Japanese architect Kengo Kuma. 60 percent of the Olympic venues are Riugd and become recycled things. All the lights in the stadium will be powered by solar energy. Five thousand medals made of e-waste will be awarded in the Olympics. People gave 80 thousand used mobile phones, smartphones and tablets for e-waste. For the first time, a driverless taxi will also be used.
